Internet running slow

[larbec7]

I am pretty PC smart and sometimes my firefox runs slow. What are some programs you run to speed up your computer to surf quicker?

Clean your Firefox cookies. Also do an antivirus scan. Sometimes it helps too.

If you are using Internet Explorer, one way to speed up browsing is to disable add-ons.

In IE, go to ‘tools’ and ‘manage add-ons’.
Disabling any unnecessary add-ons may help your Internet run faster.
Try disabling add-ons with more than a .2 sec load time. (i.e. tool bars)

I use firefox and I have deleted cookies, ran spybot, adware and malwarebytes

You could also try defragmenting your hard drives and run a checkdisk utility because firefox will use your paging file areas for temporary storage and to backup where your at and what your doing a fair amount of the time

tell us if there are any improvements in performance or not

I did defrag and it is still running slow. I tried all of this before I posted. Basically, when I place something in the browser and click on search it drags its butt off maybe 10 seconds before it goes to the next page. Kinda like I am back on dial up

Do you clean registry since it saves all the data of programs in the computer?

what I noticed is that firefox 3.5.7 was dragging. I updated my FF to 3.6 and all is running fine.....go figure
